Answer: What does the exclamation point on my MS-Excel file icon mean?
The red exclamation point on your MS-Excel file icon indicates that there is an issue with the file. It means that Excel is unable to locate or access the file's external references, such as links to other workbooks or data sources. This can happen if the file has been moved or if the external references have been deleted or renamed.
To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:
Once you have resolved the issue, save the file and the red exclamation point should disappear from the icon.

What is the file extension? Is it xlsm?
In Excel 2007 Red ! denotes that the workbook has macros in it and the extension is xlsm. I don't think you get Red ! in Excel 2003. "JS Puskar" wrote: I'm using Excel 2003 and Windows XP. When I save worksheet to my desktop, it has a red exclamation point on it. What does this signify? |
